Initio Side Effect has an amazing harmony of tobacco, vanilla notes. Rum accent sounds a little creamy against the background of vanilla. But this ghostly nuance quickly fades, and the rum notes show themselves again more independently.

Cinnamon teases with a spicy accent. Cinnamon is delicately echoed by the note of saffron. The sandalwood accent is also dramatically revealed.

The composition contains a molecule Hedione (Gedion). It sounds like jasmine with citrus accents. This note slightly refreshes the oriental gourmand character of the fragrance. It gives a floral nuance and perfectly sets off spices.


If this sounds up your alley then make sure to buy Side Effect Initio samples, so you can experience the effect for yourself!

Notes: rum, vanila, tobacco, cinnamon

I had a decant and the juice was very long lasting. I don’t know if it’s a reformulation. Or new batch that needs to macerate but my decant did not have typical staying power. It is a fabulous scent for fall/winter - leans masculine but had one of my favorite notes.
